Chapter 53: Forbidden Land

“Not bad, what a Nine Dragons Worshipping Mountain formation!”

At this moment, Wu Hao had already arrived at the Ember Extinction Forbidden Ground, known as a Forbidden Land in the Southern Region, and nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the large mountain before him.

Before Wu Hao, nine mountain ranges, stretching for thousands of miles, emerged, and at the end of these nine mountain ranges stood a colossal mountain, millions of meters high. From a distance, the nine mountain ranges resembled nine divine Dragons lying prostrate on the ground.

And that mountain, millions of meters high, seemed to be receiving the worship of the nine divine Dragons, appearing incredibly majestic and enormous.

Seeing such terrain, Wu Hao's heart stirred slightly, and a trace of his Qi inadvertently leaked out.

But just then, a colossal figure silently appeared behind Wu Hao, opening its blood-red mouth and biting towards Wu Hao. If a normal Supreme were suddenly attacked like this, they would surely be unable to react in time and would be torn to shreds.

However, Wu Hao remained motionless. With a single thought, a sharp gleam shot out from Wu Hao’s body, instantly slaying the massive creature behind him, which was large enough to swallow the entire Sunset City in one gulp.

The creature's eyes were filled with disbelief as it died, clearly not expecting such a small human to possess such powerful strength.

Looking at the colossal creature that had fallen behind him, Wu Hao’s brows furrowed slightly.

In fact, he had some understanding of the Ember Extinction Forbidden Ground. Each region had a Forbidden Land: the Northern Region’s Forbidden Land was called the Frost Devouring Forbidden Land, the Western Region’s was the Twilight Forbidden Land, the Central Region’s was the Eternal Night Forbidden Land, the Eastern Region’s was the Soul Devouring Forbidden Land, and the Southern Region’s was the Ember Extinction Forbidden Ground.

It is said that places designated as Forbidden Lands are so dangerous that even Holy Land-level figures dare not easily trespass. Wu Hao deeply understood this after achieving the Red Dust Immortal Breakthrough.

Because after achieving the Red Dust Immortal Breakthrough, Wu Hao finally got a glimpse of the conditions within the five great Forbidden Lands. Not to mention quasi-emperors, even Great Emperors would face a high risk of falling if they entered them.

But for Wu Hao, it was no longer an issue. The matters of the five great Forbidden Lands might be extremely difficult, even unsolvable, for the beings of the entire Xuantian Realm, but for Wu Hao, they were merely a slight inconvenience.

If it weren't for finding a suitable relocation site for the Wu Family, Wu Hao probably wouldn't have come to the Ember Extinction Forbidden Ground.

“Alright, let's first resolve the trouble within the Ember Extinction Forbidden Ground. This terrain is definitely a top-tier choice for the Wu Family, and with my grand formation, it should ensure the Wu Family’s eternal prosperity!”

Thinking this, Wu Hao began to act. With Wu Hao's strength, he could walk sideways in the current Xuantian Realm. If Wu Hao wanted to hide, even a fellow Red Dust Immortal would not be able to detect his presence.

He had only exposed his emotions earlier upon seeing the Nine Dragons Worshipping Mountain terrain, which allowed the Vicious Beast in the Forbidden Land to detect him.

Without further ado, Wu Hao moved constantly within the Ember Extinction Forbidden Ground, and soon arrived at its center.

In the center of the Ember Extinction Forbidden Ground stood a large mountain, and at its summit, countless faint black Qi slowly drifted down, spreading throughout the entire Ember Extinction Forbidden Ground.

Feeling this Qi, Wu Hao’s expression became extremely solemn. In his perception, the Forbidden Land’s existence was precisely due to this Qi spreading over an area of a million miles around.

Upon inhaling this Qi, ordinary beings would quickly lose their minds, wanting to kill any living creature they saw. The one who had ambushed Wu Hao earlier was a being contaminated by this unknown Qi.

And according to Wu Hao’s perception, even an Undergoing Tribulation-level expert would not last a day in this Qi, and even Holy Land-level experts had the potential to be contaminated.

But for Wu Hao, it was nothing; it couldn't even get within a meter of him.

Thus, Wu Hao, enduring the mysterious Qi, arrived at the mountain's peak. There, he saw a massive pit. Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Hao jumped straight down.

He had already understood the situation inside before entering, so he naturally wasn't worried about being unable to resolve anything within.

Soon, Wu Hao arrived at the center of the pit and saw a black pearl floating on the ground. Faint black Qi continuously emanated from the black pearl, contaminating the entire Forbidden Land.

Seeing this, Wu Hao stepped forward to put the black pearl into his storage ring, but just as Wu Hao was about to collect it, the System’s voice rang out.

“Ding, it is detected that the pearl before you is an Opportunity for the Destined Child. Host, please do not interfere.”

Unexpectedly, the long-absent System suddenly came back to life. Hearing the System’s words, Wu Hao paused, then frowned and asked.

“System, you said this pearl is an Opportunity for the Destined Child? What does that mean?”

“Ding, literal meaning.”

Hearing this, Wu Hao merely fell silent for a moment, then decided not to interfere further. After all, he could resolve the pearl before him, but what then? If he affected the path of his descendants, it would ultimately be himself who suffered.

It would be better to let his descendant, the Destined Child, resolve this matter.

Moreover, Wu Hao could sense that the five great Forbidden Lands had all become Forbidden Lands because of the appearance of this pearl, making them extremely dangerous even for Great Emperors.

“Forget it, if that's the case, then I'll wait for my descendant to resolve this matter. And I don't even know which descendant will resolve it.”

Wu Hao shook his head, then disappeared from the Forbidden Land. As for the new Wu Family’s location, Wu Hao found a slightly inferior location compared to the Nine Dragons Worshipping Mountain formation within the Ember Extinction Forbidden Ground.

Soon, Wu Hao returned to the Wu Family and brought Wu Rulong to the place he had found, instructing Wu Rulong to complete the construction of the new Wu Family as soon as possible. Upon seeing the majestic mountain before him, Wu Rulong quickly nodded in agreement.

With the current power of the Wu Clan Commerce, if Wu Rulong wished, building an entirely new Holy Land would not be an issue.

And Wu Hao was able to forge Emperor Weapons, so these past years, Wu Rulong had also been searching for Materials that could forge Emperor Weapons, all so that their Wu Family could have their own Emperor Weapon sooner.

Wu Rulong also didn't want their Wu Family to constantly rely on his father to solve problems. As long as they had an Emperor Weapon, their Wu Family would no longer need to worry about any Holy Land-level forces, even if Wu Hao were not around someday.

Upon returning to the Wu Family, Wu Hao also added Su Qiaoran to the Family chat group.

Currently, only fourth-generation descendants and above were allowed into the Family chat group; fifth-generation descendants and below could not enter.

After Wu Hao added Su Qiaoran, Wu Yifan, who was still Undergoing Tribulation outside, and Wu Yidao, who had joined a top-tier force, both curiously sent messages.

Wu Yifan: Welcome, Great-Grandma, to the chat. But I'm currently being chased, so don't cue me.

Wu Yidao: Hello, Great-Grandma, I'm Wu Yidao. I'm Cultivating in Tianwu Mountain. Wait for me, I'll be home to see you soon.

Wu Xun: Welcome, Great-Grandma, to the group!

Su Qiaoran: Hello everyone, I'm Su Qiaoran, your Old Ancestor Wu Hao's wife.
